Canon EOS 500D Body Question Date Added: 2nd December 2009
Question: Hi, do you deliver to a BFPO address? Do you handle VAT claim by a customer in the military? Thanks.
Bristol Cameras Answer: Hi, yes we can post to BFPO addresses, you may have to pay via BACS if the BFPO address is not registered with your credit/debit card. To supply VAT free we need a completed Directive 151 (VAT Exemption Certificate for EU Based HM Forces Personnel) This needs to be signed by head of mission and stamped with the BFPO number. The completed Directive 151 needs to be faxed to us and authorised before any VAT can become exempt. This document can be sourced from your own office. |
